This week I’m performing as part of the very first International Wrongful Conviction Day benefit concert. The event is by donation and all proceeds raised will go towards helping the IWCDC organization support exonerees. I play on Friday but this is a STACKED line-up folks, so you’ll wanna catch all 3 shows for sure. Full disclosure, my set was pre-recorded (by me!) last week, but … Continue reading Virtual Show Alert: Friday October 1st 2021
I’d been meaning to get around to a post like this for a while, sorry for the epic delay on it. I’ll do my best to be brief here in the blog because I’ve otherwise also recorded an introduction video that ended up being like 2 hours almost for some reason. You can watch that here: What I talk about in the video: Getting started … Continue reading By Ways of Introduction; Hi, I’m CF!
I wasn’t necessarily planning to cover this song, nor do a 3 part take series of it, but here we are. I was actually just going to omit this acoustic cover entirely and focus only on the full-band version of this song as part of the Jaimee Eat World exclusive discography set, but every time I sucker out and skip a song on my Observatory … Continue reading “A Praise Chorus” Cover Song Series
I’m a little late getting around to this blog post, but in my defence I sort of hate talking about this one. I did a 3-part YouTube series on my acoustic cover of “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World back on July 9th 2021; I live-tweeted this event, much like I live-tweeted today’s “Tiny Vessels” – Death Cab For Cutie 3-Part cover song series. … Continue reading “Hear You Me” Cover Song Series
I don’t really have a good title for this type of series yet, so this will have to suffice for now. Today I released 3 videos as part of my Wayback-Playback Wednesday acoustic cover song series. Normally, when I do these Wednesday covers they’re all sort of created and released in the same format. I talk a bit about this on this other blog post … Continue reading “Tiny Vessels” Cover Song Series
Today’s spin feature is “Rite of Spring” by Angels & Airwaves. This is off of Angels & Airwaves second full-length release “I-Empire”. Here are the lyrics, written of course by Thomas Delonge: I was locked all day in the summer heatIn a small brown house in suburban streetsWith a skateboard and my shit guitarI dreamed all day that they would get me far My dad … Continue reading Record 2
This blog is a continuation of Lolzafest 2021: Part 1, my review of day 1 at Lollapalooza Chicago. Feel free to read that first, or go on ahead without the context. Since I no longer had complimentary coffee service to look forward to, my first real stop of the day on Friday July 30th was a local coffee shop. It was my 31st birthday and … Continue reading Metro Chicago Presents Jimmy Eat World Live
We’re going to pick this up more or less where we left off from The Getaway Hostel post yesterday. If you haven’t read that yet, check it out by clicking this help highlighted text that’ll take you straight to it. So let’s just quickly jump back to our arrival at The Moxy, which, for the record, I can’t recommend enough. On google it’s listed as … Continue reading Lolzafest Chicago 2021
Now this is embarrassing. In December 2020 I reached out to two friends who have small children and asked them what their favourite song or show was without any context as to why I was asking. One of them told me her daughter was really into Aerosmith, specifically “Dude Looks Like A Lady” which I found hilarious because she was 4 at the time. So … Continue reading Christmas 2020 Special Acoustic Covers
